4:45 where BB cold calls the 3 bet. Makes nut flush but post flop checks down all 3 streets 3-way. Guessing just a recreational trying to cooler the PFR and disregarding the 3 bettor?

Likely because Ak without a club and Aq without a club are value jamming/protecting their equity in the first hand unblocking villain's flush draws that call off. Meanwhile the Ak with Kc blocks their higher equity draws that could raise calloff meaning you are essentially denying their extremely low equity bluffs and getting it in vs their polarised much stronger value region.

If you get in overpair with diamond on the second board you have more equity when behind and more equity vs the draws that raise calloff blocking one of their potential outs. if you get in an overpair no diamond you have less equity vs the draws and are drawing very thin when behind.

on Ac9x7c when you get XR and jammed there are still a lot of combo draws that are going to call off such as Jc9c or JcTc? yes, the AxKc or AxQc do block some other more naked flush draws, but still seems we would want a redraw to their sets / 2 pair hands and block 1 out to their combo draws. The other 762dd board mention similar concept above. Only thing I can think of is if KcXc and QcXc are raising more often than lower flush draws on the A97cc board. Where 762dd Not having a diamond with a hand like QQ makes them more likely to have a hand like QdJd that stacks off. I think I understand what you are saying, but maybe struggling to see the XR range as a big picture on both boards.

Edit: I went back and played around with the solver for 3 bet pots on Ac9x7c vs 7s6d2d boards and it does look like the raising range on the A97cc board is primarily Kc9c type region and some Qc9c region where JcTc is mostly just calling. It was the XR region I got wrong so the unblocker effects of Kc / Qc makes more sense now.

Thanks for the help on this Henry Lister

1) Everyone will have differing views on sizings here. You stated BB can go up to 7x without losing EV (therefore I assume not gaining ev either). So it should not matter which size we really use as long as we at least 4x. If you want to get very technical then you can argue to use a size you are familiar with that population is not to try and force them to make more errors and thus generate you additional EV.

2) Would be bad to follow a solver solution in this hand as villain has cold called pre and then taken this specific line with these sizings are a clear indication he is a recreational. He likely has a ton of draws and overplayed hands that have taken this line that we can get value from and require urgent protection against. Therefore I like a jam.

4) Possibly if you run MDA and find the pools are weak and overly fold (most likely) then you can likely run wild and go crazy, yes.

5) Just a stand alone 200z video as I try to cater for peoples' different tastes. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks

Also in this spot you could have 76 too so this means much ore number of value hands.

Balancing bluffs to value ratios is not as important on earlier streets due to there being more cards to come. On the river where the decision is static and you/they either have the best hand outright or do not, making it a very different situation. Essentially, if you have more strong hands flopped that can check raise aggressively now, you can check raise more bluffs and can therefore be more liberal with hand selection - Normally take something that lacks showdown value and can improve by turn-river to the best hand.

Therefore you generally want to leverage more bluffs on earlier streets on boards where you flop many strong hands that villain cannot thus giving you a nut advantage (range advantage at the top ends of the ranges). This is because you have more nuts and can therefore leverage greater fold equity meaning you can bluff wider. If you don't do this and check raise potential draws aggressively that could improve to the best hand by the river, then you will have a check raising range that is extremely nutted and opponent can hero fold more liberally.

Worse Ax, Draws. You jam and get value/protection from any draw (we unblock all of them) and get value vs aq no club which can definitely raise vs depolarised range bet.

Also when he raises so large this becomes even more clearer with our unblockers to every plausible bluff raise.
